"It's an honour to meet you Agent Sacks." Stan walked them through the house and then once in the living room he indicated for the other man to sit down.

"Please call me Ron. We're pleased with the information you have sent us on your travels. The two of you have done an amazing job."

"We do what we can." Rachel preened.

"Did you know that Steve McGarrett was a sentinel?" He could tell by their reaction that it was news to them. "Daniel Williams is his guide."

"Danny's his what?" Rachel screeched. "How didn't I know this?"

"Don't blame yourself, it's a recent occurrence. I'm sure you would have picked it up soon enough." He was confident that she hadn't seen much of her ex-husband since he'd become a guide.

"What she we do?" Stan asked.

Ron sighed. "There are too many coming online. We need to stop or at least slow this down and then a plan could be made to end this all."

"If we kill some of them it may make the others a little more worried. They might have to hide, mistakes would be made, and those ones could be taken out." She paced and thought about what could be done.

Gracie frowned why her mother was talking about killing people? Why was her Danno a guide? Just then she heard movement, so she turned and snuck back to her bedroom, climbed into bed and pretended to be asleep. Her mind whirled about everything she'd heard.

As Tony and Gibbs walked in, Steve went over to join them.

"Thank you for saving Danny."

"I'm glad I was there and could help."

"Could you make sure you aren't hurt next time?" Gibbs growled.

"I'd feel the same," Steve added.

"Sentinels are overprotective assholes." Danny sighed while Tony nodded in agreement.

Grace walked down the beach with the other 'Aloha Girls', she watched and waited for the perfect moment. There were a few of the wealthy girls who always liked to cause a situation so they would become the centre of attention. Just then a group of boys their age and began to talk to Elizabeth and her group. This was the distraction she needed.

"Elizabeth, what do you think you are doing?" Mrs Lerner shouted as she stomped over to them.

"I'm talking." Elizabeth sneered arrogantly.

As soon as the argument heated up and a crowd started to form Grace slipped away.

Kamekona frowned as a recognisable little girl came running over to him. He glanced around and noticed that she was all alone and looked worried.

"Gracie, are you okay?"

"I need you to call Danno, he can't call mom it's very important he doesn't. Promise me you'll tell him?"

"I promise little one." He turned and grabbed his cell.

Danny and Steve both ran over and hugged her tightly.

"Gracie, what's going on?" Danny did his best to keep the panic from his voice.

"Can we go somewhere more private? It's important Uncle Steve." She glanced up at him her eyes large and pleading.

He groaned in defeat, Danny just laughed. "Let's go back to my place." He smiled at two identical nods from father and daughter.

"Okay, we're alone, what's going on?" Steve asked as they entered his home.

"Last night mom and Stan had a visitor, they called him Agent Sacks. It echoes by the door, and they weren't very quiet."

"Are you sure it was Agent Sacks?" Danny couldn't even imagine what was going on.

She nodded. "I'm positive; I snuck down and listened at the door. Mom was surprised that Uncle Steve was something called a sentinel and that Danno was your guide." Her nose scrunched in confusion.

"Was there anything else? Steve's voice was soothing.

"No." Grace started to sniff, and Danny pulled her into his arms. "They said there were too many and maybe they should start killing them." She paused and looked at her dad. "They won't hurt you or Uncle Steve, will they?"

"We'll protect each other, you know Danno and I have each other's backs. I'll let Rachel know she's here, but I won't say why. She will be staying here."

"Thanks, Steve." As father and daughter snuggled together.

"Very well, goodbye." Rachel's voice was cold. "Grace ran away from her trip today and straight to her father."

"Is this unusual?" Sacks had come back the following day to see what they could come up with.

"Yes, very," Stan answered.

"She must have heard, a least a part, of conversation last night." As an excellent FBI agent, he should've heard a little girl.

"We'll go and collect her, then make sure she understands that she misunderstood the conversation." Rachel was determined that nothing would stop them.

"No, it'll just bring more problems and could put the mission in danger. We might have to deal with her though."

Stan looked at him in horror. "She's a little girl, you can't kill her." Just then his cell goes. "Its work, I need to answer this." He walked away as he started to talk.

Rachel and Sacks looked at each other.

"My husband's become a liability, shall I deal with him?"

"Please do." He wanted to see how committed she was.

"It's the site; they need be to go down there."

Rachel walked over to her bag, and while her back was to him, she put the gun and silencer together. Ever since Ron had come to see them, she'd been carrying just in case. Once done, she turned and fired.

Sacks walked over and checked. He was dead. "Very good."

"I know what I needed to do. I left Daniel because he's a good, a decent and a strong-willed man. I knew he wouldn't agree with what I was doing. I kept Grace because I could use her against him. Stan was an idiot with money. He was easily seduced, but no stomach for what had to be done."

"You'd better leave; I'll call a clean-up crew. I'll make sure some false trails are left and that you have an alibi. Head towards the airport, I'll text you with your flight details and then the hotel. Once you get there, an envelope will be there and contain the details of your next mission."

Sacks walked over to Fornell and sat down. They'd decided to take a break and enjoy the fantastic weather.

Steve and Grace walked around the corner; he'd decided to take her out for shave ice. She gripped her fingers tightly and pulled him back suddenly.

"It's him, the man at the house."

Gibbs who had been behind them, he peaked his head around the corner. It was Ron Sacks. He really wished Tony was with him, but he was still healing. Kort had remained there to keep an eye on him, much to Tony's horror.

"Let's go back; we'll let the others know." Steve knew it was too dangerous to stay here and Gracie was terrified.

Danny smiled over at his daughter who was asleep on the couch. "Normally I'd be getting a screeching call about taking me back to court about visitation rights."

Gibbs looked over in horror he could see how they two loved each other. "Did she do that a lot?"

Steve nodded he remembered each time and how it broke Danny's heart that he might never see his little Gracie again. He felt it as well; she had become his daughter as well.

Kort looked over at all of them. "I'll go and check things out. It could be a trap, what's the address?"

Danny grabbed pen and paper, wrote it down and handed it over. "Are you sure you don't–."

"No, it'll be better if I'm on my own. I'll call with news." With that, he walked out of the house.

Trent sat and watched from his car as men walked in and out. They were 'cleaners'. Just then one of the men left on his own. He smiled and followed, it was time to gather some actual facts.
